Road Work Keeps Us in the Dark (or Dust)

We have been lucky in that the delays for road work have been minimal.  The longest we have had to wait is about 45 minutes.  We can understand how critical it is to use the short summer to make the repairs.  Most of the roads along here are getting a seal coating, not pavement.  They still have a way to go to learn how to deal with permafrost, but seal coating seems to be working.


Why waste the wait?  I got out of the truck and caught this clover - it's really big up here -- and a butterfly.

We waited quite a while for the pilot car here, and then were almost swallowed up with the dust.  The road grader coming the other way was barely visible.
